I'm looking to make maps for my campaign but i'm unsure on where to start because I have a name for my starting town as well as where it's placed on the world or name of it at least but i'm looking for maybe online ways of doing it instead but I also want a way of creation.
The easiest way is to go online, download someone else’s map, and plop your town onto it. I realize that takes away a lot of the fun of making the map, just throwing out an option.
I use Inkarnate too. It is wonderful for national and regional maps. It is very good at town and village maps. It is pretty good for encounter maps. It has a free option you can use until you decide it is worth supporting.
I use Inkarnate one of the great things about it is that you can clone maps others have made and then tweak and change them to suit yourself.
But I would say don’t worry about a detailed map of the whole world initially, all your players need to know about is the area they are in. If they ask what the world looks like tell them maps are rare and may well be found in future, or sketch a really rough shape on a map to give them a sense of the shape of the continent and the towns position relative to it.

The best one that I have found is Inkarnate. Great map making tool I've made many myself
